You know, I get it, they're probably just an asshole. Maybe they're having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they're nuts enough to make things violent?

I mean, the text say the guy honked for going "70 in a 50".
If you take it at face value, the person posting is the asshole and a terrible driver endangering everybody on the road.

The other person would have to be doing 70 as well, in order to honk at them.

She's taking selfies while driving, clearly she's the better person

Could've honked while being overtaken

No one is in danger strictly because of 20 over. Please. Our speed limits are insane and not grounded in safety.

Yeah, honking at me. And those flashing lights on the roof of their car are really annoying.

70 in a 50 zone. Doesn't matter if its km/h or mph, that's just idiotic.

Have you ever slipped and accidentally honked at someone?

I never really looked into this (relation between speed limits and accidents/safety), so I figured I'd verify your statement with a quick google search and it turns out you've got it all wrong. There is a deep well established link between speed limits and accident risk, see for example here:
Now you know!

exactly, the engineers should never have made a road with that big of a discrepancy between safe speed and listed speed limit

We're talking about speeding and you post some study about absolute speed? GTFO
.You want to talk about absolute risk? What's the increase in risk when you set an arbitrarily low speed limit on a highway clearly able to handle high speeds? When you look at the reality of induced road rage and creating large deltas in speed?
You'd be that politician giving yourself a pat on the back while ignoring the actual effects of your policy.

How is that even possible?

The engineers only make the designed safe speed. Government officials make the listed limit. It used to be EXTREMELY popular for government official to knock 20-25% off the design limit of the road, ironically so they can tell everyone how safe they were.

- Takes photos while driving.
Neither driver here is in the right.

Oh hey look a guy on the internet who doesn't when someone contradicts his baseless claims with evidence. There's something you don't see every day.

I disagree. There are two roads near me with a limit of 55 mph, and traffic on those roads regularly moves at 75-80. Driving 55 becomes dangerous when all of the other traffic is going so much faster, because nobody expects you to be that slow. You risk getting rear-ended, and if traffic is heavy, people who end up behind you now have to merge into a much faster lane of traffic to get around you.

Oh hey, some guy mouthing off who doesn't understand how relative and absolute risk work who just went off to have Google to search for the phrase that validates their assumptions. Rare sighting indeed.

Facts don't care about your feelings. You've presented zero evidence to the contrary, how are you this confident about your assertion? This is such a joke
